richard engel has more on the scale of destruction inside syria. >> reporter: for the last several weeks, all of homs has been surrounded by syrian government forces. they have been shelling the city from the outside, but the opposition does control a few pockets within the city, and this media center was in one of those pockets. it was one of the only places that had limited internet access. the journalists were in this center this morning when it was destroyed by a rocket, apparently fired by government troops, posted around the city. >> and of course, we had the incredible death of marie colvin and others only yesterday. at the same time, today in london, hillary clinton suggested that the time for bashir assad may be coming to an end. >>> it is clear to me that there will be a breaking point. i wish it would be sooner, so that more lives would be saved than later, but i have absolutely no doubt there will be such a breaking point. >> former congresswoman jane harman is president of the wilson center and joins me now. jane, it just seems as though all the rhetoric is not going to get

here's richard engel reporting for nbc. >> reporter: u.s. diplomatic outposts now appear to be easy targets. in yemen for the second day, furious protesters tried to storm the embassy in sanaa, burning american flags, as riot police fire water cannons. gunshots can be heard. why? because they say the u.s. isn't doing enough against the makers of that now infamous anti-islam internet video. in tunisia, demonstrators set fires by the u.s. embassy gate, and in sudan, protesters turned their rage on the british and german embassies. those countries had nothing to do with the video, but they're foreign western powers and for the mob, that's close enough. in cairo, the government called off massive planned demonstrations. the president went on television to urge calm. but clashes near the u.s. embassy continue. authorities had to build a wall to block an access road. this has clearly moved beyond demonstrations against an offensive internet video. it's become an opportunity for radicals in many countries to express their anger with the united stat
